Abstract Red chili ( Capsicum annum L .) is one of horticultural commodities that rapidly damage due to has high water content, which around 80-90%. High respiration rate can cause deterioration quickly and shorten shelf life at room temperature stored. In order prolong red pepper, aloe vera alone, mixed with carrageenan glycerol be applied as edible coating. The aims this study were evaluate t...

Abstract The genus Schinus (Anacardiaceae) comprises 30 species found in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil. terebinthifolia (Brazilian pepper tree) is socioeconomically important the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. Dried fruit used as a pepper-like spice natural populations are exploited. Studies on meiotic behavior pollen stainability from an ecological evolution...

Developing effective ways for controlling the quality of natural products that are sold in high volume worldwide is currently one most urgent goals analytical chemistry. Black pepper ( Piper nigrum ) a major spice constitutes 34% global market. highly prone to variations, arising from alteration piperine content. Miniaturized NIR spectroscopy offers high-throughput, cost-effective and laborator...

Abstract Curcumin (CCM), a culinary spice, is widely consumed for its health benefits managing oxidative and inflammatory conditions, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, hyperlipidemia. However, due to extensive metabolism, the oral bioavailability of CCM very low. In this study, we developed rapid, sensitive, selective assay examine hypothesis that piperine improves after co‐ingestion. We selective...

Four cultivars (Bronowicka Ostra, Cyklon, Tornado, and Tajfun) of pepper fruit Capsicum annuum L. were studied for phenolics contents and antioxidant activity. Two fractions of phenolics, flavonoids (with phenolic acids) and capsaicinoids, were isolated from the pericarp of pepper fruit at two growth stages (green and red) and were studied for their antioxidant capacity. Both fractions from red...

Adverse environmental conditions have a detrimental impact on crop growth and development, and cause protein denaturation or misfolding. The binding protein (BiP) plays an important protective role by alleviating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced by misfolded proteins. In this study, we characterized three BiP genes (CaBiP1, CaBiP2, and CaBiP3) in pepper, an economically important veget...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of different sources of natural pigments on yolk color and laying hen performance. a completely randomized design with six treatments and six replicates was used.the six experimental treatments were: a control diet containing yellow corn grain, a reference diet containing wheat and barley grain instead of corn; a red pepper diet composed of refe...

The effect of pressure treatments of 100 and 200 MPa (10 and 20 min) and of thermal blanching at 70 C, 80 C and 98 C (1 and 2.5 min), on sweet green and red bell peppers was compared. Pressure treated peppers showed a lower reduction on soluble protein and ascorbic acid contents. Red peppers presented even an increased content of ascorbic acid (15–20%), compared to the untreated peppers. Peroxi...

to determine suitable pepper cultivars with high quantitative and qualitative characteristics adapted to the climate of sistan, an experiment was conducted in zahak experimental station, zabol, using rcbd with four replications in two years. in this experiment, four sweet pepper, five green pepper and three salad pepper cultivars were evaluated individually. the results showed significant diffe...
